profession honorable in all times The profession of
medicine contributes more names handed down in
history than does any other. Hippocrates li the best

crably distinguished In this country.
The speaker urged a thorough knowledge of
medicine In all Us branches. Intelligence and

that they would never be taken unawares.

Letter Front the Delegate rvom Dakota
HoraK Or KlPRKStlCTATIVEH, 1
Washington, D.C., March 2,1877.
To the Edittr of the national Republican,
So many statements have appeared In your
paper ncently In regard to the country known as
the lllack Hills, In Dakota Territory, being with
out law, I desire to state a tow facte In relation
thereto.
The Legislative Assembly of the Territory of
jiasota, wnicn nas just closed us session, organ
Ised this country Into four counties, established a
United States Court thsre, designated as the
First Judicial District, and assigned Associate
Justice Dennett, of the Supreme Uuurt, to pre
side over the same, and requiring him by law to
reside there.
The Legislature also 'made a, 'large a p propria.
tlon for locating and IraproTlng three wagon
roads from the lifack Hills to different p)lntson
the Missouri river, one point of which to Fort
Pierre is only one hundred and twenty miles la
distance therefrom.
The people, therefore, who reside In tht Ulack
Hills are as fully protected by law as they are
In any other place la the Territory of Dakota.
Please give this a place In your columns, and
thereby correct an erroneous impression which
seems to prevail In regard to this section of coun
try. Very respectfully, J. P. Kiddir.

Wonderful Telegraphing,
I From the Portsmouth, N. H., Chronkle.J
A good storj comes from Nor walk, Cjqq.
One day last week a gaunt, slab-sided chap,
with particles of hayseed on his coat and lu his
tow colored hair, stepped up to the telegraph of.
See at the depot and asked If the boss was la.
The operator assured him that he was, and his
rural friend went on to relate thathehal lired
np In Danbury, had come down from there that
morning, and Intended to bring bis brother's dog,
which a man In Norwich wanted to buy, but had
forgotten It, and wanted to know Ifthe dog could
be sent down there by telegraph. The min of
lightning, seeing a gool chanee ror a little fun
atOLoe onswered
'Certainty, sin that Is a milter or dally oc
currence. All that Is necessary rr you to do Is
to give me a description or the dog, so tint no
mistake can be made; call again In abjut halfan
hour and the dog will be here."
"It Is a yellow dog, with small ears, and Is
about to high," said the stranger, placing his
band eighteen Inches from the ffoor. He then
took his departure with the remark that he
would call again soon. The operator then
sent bis messenger boy to look for a dog
as near to the description as possible,
which he loon succeeded in finding. It was
at once brought to the office, and seeured
to the operator's desk by means of a piece of tele.
graph wire. Altera little coning the dog was
made to lie quietly doirn, and everything was In
readiness for our rural friend. Punctual to the
i,m,!,i,.W1!i,a bK m,,u u1' apprance, and
asked IT the dog had come.
. ".I w!n '."'" ,aid JL0 operator, and stepping up
?", he tapped u few times on the
key, at the same 1 1me Inserting his leg under the
desk he managed to step on the dog's toes, which
caused the canine to yelp. "Ah! he'e coming,"
said the operator, and then tapping more furious
ly on the key, he at the same time kicked the do
roin under the table, who, not relishing this
kind of treatment, harked furiously and
ran around the otllce with tbe wire .
tached to his neck. "Fllty cents, slr,' sail
the operator, turning round to tbe countrynnn
' Uncommon nice dog, must be worth W: but ho
Is the hardest dog I arer received orer the wire.
He Is so muscular, you see, that he hroke the
wire In fact, a pieee or It Is now attached to his
ncok, which he broke off."
During the whale of this operation tho eointrr
mJKV . 0lUb? "Irator with eyes wide oreu
andlullol surprise; hut when the dog came out
Iron under the table and was seen bv the
countryman, that was the culminating point,
and he was struck with amaiement. After look
Ing at tbe dog a moment or so, he saldi "Sar.
mister, be ain't so big as he was, and he Is darker!
How Is that?"
Oh( that Is easily eiplafned,' said the opera
tor; "you see the chemicals employed In in a k loir
electnolty ef course darken his original color,
and tlio velocity with which he passed over the
wire rauaed him to contract In alie; but alter vol
expese him to tbe air ror n short time he will soon
assume his original Use aud color."
"1'u tell J" said the conntryman, and, alter
placing nity cents on th coitnler, picked up tbe
